Welcome to the Forum Cherie!
Here you will find much support and encouragement to help you on your journey to a better future.
Don't be shy in using it.
We here know this journey from the inside and are well aware of the many things that you will experience along the way.
It is a smart person who uses the experience of others to teach them.
If the wheel has been invented already - why re-invent right?
Sharrelle's List of Tips is a very usual start. The only thing I would add to it is "Tip 7" should read "
Healthy Snacking".

It's going to be hard with a toddler and a baby but I will try.
Life has many demands...successful weight loss is all about discovering how to make for yourself a healthy lifestyle that works in
your life.
Others have managed it - your challenge is to find your way.
This is where the Forum's members can be really useful as you come to grips with that lifestyle.
I'm joining this forum to keep me motivated
Want to be motivated eh? I'll give you three motivations right now!

...
Firstly; Check out my photos in the "Before During and After Photos" section.
If a guy the wrong side of 50, with a bad back, hernia the size of his fist, with chronic asthma and no idea what he is doing - can lose 87kilos in 60 weeks...then anyone can. Check the photos and say to yourself...if he can then why not me?
Second and Third reasons are even better. Your toddler and your baby.
My daughter was nine years old before I started to get my act into gear.
In those nine years I short changed her on the father that she deserves.
Don't get me wrong...I was a good Dad (better than most) - it is just that I didn't give her the best of what I should have been.
The tired and unfit man that I was just couldn't hack the pace.
Now that I've lost the weight, life is just so much better. I have much more energy and I'm far more engaged in life now rather than being a spectator that I was.
That is why I'm always rabbiting on about the better future that awaits those who start this journey of discovery.
Time to grab that better future with your toddler and baby!
